Tim Smunt has been asked to evaluate two machines. After some investigation, he determines that they have the costs shown in the f Machine A Machine B $12,000 $28,000 $2,200 $4,800 $4,300 $800 $2,400 $7,500 He is told to assume that: Original Cost Labor per year Maintenance per year Salvage value 1. The life of each machine is 3 years. 2. The company thinks it knows how to make 14% on investments no more risky than this one. 3. Labor and maintenance are paid at the end of the year. The NPV for Machine A = $ The NPV for Machine B = $ Using the net present value as the basis of comparing the machines, Tim should recommend (round your response to the nearest whole number and include a minus sign if necessary). (round your response to the nearest whole number and include a minus sign if necessary).

You are asked to select the best purchase option: there are two machines. You are only given data on the costs, because the sales will be exactly the same for both alternatives. Therefore, you have to select the equipment that generates the lowest costs! The MARR is 12% annual nominal, compounded annually for both machines. Machine AMachine B $62,000 $77,000 Annual Net Cash Flows$15,000 $21,000 $8,000 4 years Initial Investment Salvage Value Useful life $10,000 б уеars
To make an item inhouse, equipment costing $250,000 must be purchased. It will have a life of 4 years, an annual cost of $80,000, and each unit will cost $40 to manufacture. Buying the item externally will cost $100 per unit. At i = 15% per year, it is cheaper to make the item inhouse if the number per year needed is:a. above 1047 unitsb. above 2793 unitsc. equal to 2793 unitsd. below 2793 units
The cost characteristics of a CO testing machine that was purchased 5 years ago for $100,000 are shown below. The equation to determine the AW of retaining the tester one more year and then replacing it is: (a) AW = −15,000(A/P,i,1) − 54,000 + 10,000(A/F,i,1) (b) AW = −100,000(A/P,i,6) − 54,000 + 10,000(A/F,i,6) (c) AW = −60,000(A/P,i,1) − 42,000 + 40,000(A/F,i,1) (d ) AW = −100,000(A/P,i,5) − 42,000 + 15,000(A/F,i,5) Machine Age, Years from Purchase M&O Costs, $ per Year Salvage Value at End of Year, $ 1 42,000 60,000 2 47,000 40,000 3 49,000 31,000 4 50,000 24,000 5 52,000 15,000 6 54,000 10,000 7 63,000 10,000 8 67,000 10,000

You are considering two types of machines fora manufacturing process.◼◼ Machine A has a first cost of $75,200, and itssalvage value at the end of six years of estimatedservice life is $21,000. The operating costs ofthis machine are estimated to be $6,800 per year.Extra income taxes are estimated at $2,400 peryear.◼◼ Machine B has a first cost of $44,000, and itssalvage value at the end of six years’ service isestimated to be negligible. The annual operatingcosts will be $11,500.Compare these two mutually exclusive alternativesby the present-worth method at i = 13%
An engineer of a manufacturing company has determined the costs of producing a new product to be as follows: Equipment cost: $300,000/year Variable cost per unit of production: $15.00 Overhead cost: $50,000/year The company is planning to run this project for 5 years and estimated that the product can be sold for a unit price of $40. How many units must be produced and sold each year to break even? [Hints: no interest is given, so no consideration of time value of money. Use the knowledge you learnt in chapter 2]
Note:- I need only question 3 answer. ASAP 2. A company can manufacture a product using hand tools. Tools will cost $ 1,000, and themanufacturing cost per unit will be $ 1.50. As an alternative, an automated system will cost$15,000 and the manufacturing cost per unit will be $ 0.50. With an anticipated annualvolume of 5,000 units and neglecting interest, the payback period (yr) for the automatedsystem is most nearly (A) 2.8 (B) 3.6(C) 15.0(D) never 3. For problem 2, what is the payback period (yr) taking into account the interest lost on the capital invested if the annual interest rate is 5 % per year?(A) 2.4(B) 2.6(C) 3.3(D)4.5
Two machines are being considered for the production of a particular part for which there is a long term-demand. Machine A cost P50,000.00 and is expected to last 3 years and have a P10,000 salvage value. Machine B costs P75,000.00 and is expected to last 6 years and have zero salvage value. Machine A can produce a part in 18 seconds; Machine B requires only 12 seconds per part. The out-of-pocket hourly cost of operation is P38.00 for A and P30.00 for B. Monthly Maintenance cost are P200.00 for A and P220.00 for B. If interest on invested capital is 25%, determine the number of parts per year at which the machines are equally economical. If the expected number of parts per year is greater than this break-even quantity, which machine would be favored?
